    Travelling to Wembley for football (and aiming for class 67 haulage on Chiltern)

    Hi. The 11.24 from SOL is, realistically, the last service to get to Wembley a reasonable time before kick-off. Generally, from the midlands, the 168s are the only services to stop at Wembley on event days, along with half-hourly scheduled services to and from Marylebone. If we do use...

    Secret Platform Birmingham New Street ?

    According to the plans, the west dock will be filled in with surface water catchment tanks and 'services'. The east dock is to be retained. The east dock was used for the newspaper trains in the 60's & 70's. My late grandfather used to collect them from there in the early hours of the morning.

    Worthless post beeching openings.

    I would agree with that for self-evident reasons! * *Another possible cause is that an Off-Peak return to London Euston is priced at £47! We, on here, know how to reduce that (to £26.50) with multiple tickets but the occasional traveler will probably just decide to go by car. I occasionally...
